were unanimously adopted, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
of New York; Paulina Wright Davis, of Rhode Island; Thomas Wentworth
Higginson and Lucy Stone, of Massachusetts; and Oliver Johnson, of New
York, were appointed as the Committee to superintend the work.

LUCY STONE said she had a new item of business to propose. She
knew that those who came to these Conventions went away feeling
stronger and better. She held in her hand a pamphlet containing
five tracts; one from Wendell Phillips, one from Theodore Parker,
one from _The Westminster Review_, by Mrs. John Stuart Mill, one
from Mr. Higginson, and last, but not least, one from Mrs. C. I.
H. Nichols, which should be distributed. They were able papers,
and all interested in the movement should exert themselves to
circulate them. The people only wanted light.

Another mode of disseminating the principles was by stories
illustrating the wrongs of women under the present laws. The
right of a woman to what she earns; to the custody of her person;
to the guardianship of her children, and all of her other rights,
should be illustrated in fiction. Prizes should be offered for
the best stories upon these subjects. She pledged herself to
raise $500 for the purpose. She pointed to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to
show what fiction could accomplish, and trusted that action would
be taken upon the subject before the Convention adjourned.

Mr. GARRISONarose to say "ditto to Lucy Stone." In regard to
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," it was known that Mrs. Stowe was induced to
write it from a request of Dr. Bailey, of _The National Era_, to
write a story for his paper. And he thought that such an offer
might now call forth something to aid the cause of woman. He
praised the tracts to which Miss Stone alluded.

The PRESIDENT appointed Wendell Phillips, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
and Mary Channing Higginson, the Committee on prize tracts.[71]

Mrs. TRACY CUTLER read an invitation from the Female Medical
College for the members of the Convention to visit that
institution and attend its lectures, and took the opportunity to
compliment Philadelphia as being the first city, not only in the
United States, but in the world, to establish a Medical College
for Women.

Dr. ANN PRESTON gave an interesting report of The Woman's Medical
College; of all
